What is a divisible spiral zipper

You recognize a divisible spiral zipper by the twisted plastic teeth that run in a spiral shape along the zipper, rather than loose hard teeth. This makes the zipper lighter, more flexible and quieter in use than a metal version. The divisible end stop, with its pin and box, lets you completely separate both tape sides. So you can use the zipper as a regular closure, but also as a fully opening fastener, making it suitable for many clothing projects. The nylon version stays smooth and moves easily, even after repeated opening and closing.

Uses and projects
